Restore Your PIP Coverage on Jan. 1, Or Else
December 31st, 2007 by flanewsNew Year�s Day will bring a not-so-new law for Florida drivers.� After three months away, personal injury protection insurance will once again become a legal requirement.� If you canceled PIP after October 1st, and don�t pick up the coverage again on January 1st, you risk losing your driver�s license.� And you could pay anywhere from $150 to $500 to get it back.
�It�s going to affect the people who haven�t had insurance since October 1st,” said insurance agent Corey Tyre.� “They�re going to have to go get it, or they�re going to get a letter from the Department of Highway Safety that says, you have 30 days to provide this insurance coverage or we�re going to suspend your license.�
Chief Financial Officer Alex Sink has set up a consumer help line, (877) 693-5236, to handle questions.� Or you can find out more on the web at myfloridacfo.com/NoFault
